Wondering if anyone else has had this problem? My DGD, 9 yr old level 4, was having some pain in her left foot and ankle. Her coach suggested she go to an ortho specialist. They took xray and said take Aleve and do ice baths twice a day and come back in 3 weeks. Xrays didn't show anything so the doctor ordered blood work done. It showed a severe vitamin D definciency and she has been put on medication. We have a followup appointment next week so we will learn more then.
Thank you to her coach for insisting that she be seen by a doctor and also to the doctor for not just saying, I don't see anything wrong with her bones so just continue with the Aleve. DGD is one of those that says her foot hurts but hey I need to get back to practice. Doctor told her to not practice for three weeks. She had a competition at the end of two weeks and after she gave him puppy dog eyes and pleaded with him, he allowed her to compete. She came in 5th overall, so not bad since she hadn't practice other than upperbody exercises.
Just wondering if this definciency is common.
